A hearing will
be held this Monday, June 18, 2012, at 9 a.m. in the courtroom of Judge Terry
Lewis, the judge whose decisions helped decide the 2000 presidential elections.
The subject of the hearing is a lawsuit filed by Michael Voeltz, a registered
Democrat who is challenging, as he has a right to do under Florida law, the
eligibility of Barack Obama to be on the Florida presidential ballot in 2012.
The issues in
the case at this stage include but are not limited to: 1.) the duty of
Florida's Secretary of State to confirm eligibility before the name of a
candidate such as Barack Obama are placed on the ballot, 2.) the definition of
the term "natural born citizen," which is a constitutional
requirement for presidential eligibility and 3.) whether Barack Obama is a
natural born citizen born in the United States or its territories to two
American citizen parents.
In a prior
hearing, Judge Lewis stressed that Mr. Voeltz's attorney, Larry Klayman, had
cited Supreme Court authority that a natural born citizen must be born in the
United States to two American citizen parents, but the Barack Obama's attorneys
had cited no authority to the contrary. Judge Lewis called for Obama's
attorneys to submit briefing on the issue prior to the hearing, and for Mr.
Klayman to submit affidavits attesting to issues of fact in dispute as to where
Obama was born. Among several affidavits, Klayman submitted the sworn testimony
of Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio, whose "Cold Case Posse" has been
investigating Obama's eligibility on behalf of Arizona and found that his
alleged birth certificate is likely forged.
This case is
monumental particularly since Florida is once again at the center of an
election dispute that could have a major impact on American history. Larry
Klayman observed: "Most of the Washington, D.C. and media establishment
have never wanted to confront the issue of Obama's eligibility to be president,
as this is not considered 'politically correct.' But the framers did confront
it and this is why they required a higher threshold to be president that goes
beyond just being a citizen. They understood, particularly given the times they
lived in, where British Tories and spies sought to undermine the new Republic,
that they could not permit someone with divided loyalties to occupy the highest
office in the land."
The case is
titled Voeltz v. Obama, No. 2012 CA 00467 in Leon County Circuit Court. The
hearing is open to the public and the media. Klayman's work is supported by the
